In this Pass or Purchase, I’m scrolling Trendmood and talking through new Spring 2020 makeup releases from Sephora, the drugstore, and indie brands—because honestly, sometimes I see something “new and shiny” and I want it immediately with zero thought. Doing these videos (and actually writing things down on a wishlist or a no-fly list) helps me slow down and evaluate what’s really worth my money. I also screen-record my phone now, which makes it so much easier to show you exactly what I’m looking at. I get into what I’m excited about (like the Milani Green Goddess cleansing balm—because I love my Farmacy balm but it’s expensive), what’s tempting me (the ABH Norvina Noir palette color story is really calling to me), and what’s an easy pass (Wayne Goss lip products aren’t grabbing me, and I’m not spending $28 USD on basic shades with packaging that doesn’t feel luxe). I also talk about brands that feel stale to me (NARS leaning on Orgasm again), and why I’m not buying Pat McGrath after two palettes were dull on my eyes. Plus, I’m intrigued by more unique releases like Nomad’s Studio 54 vibe and Maybelline’s refill-style Fit Me packaging, and I’m genuinely excited by the idea of a super hydrating Tarte concealer for my aging, very oily skin.
